Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

Shimada Sho: "...There's no need to be in such a hurry."

"No rush, no rush, I'm very free!" Tenkai Chizuru was already completely excited.

"System, you wait here. I'll go ask around tomorrow. I know a lot of people in the industry; they'll definitely know!"

Shimada Sho sighed helplessly.

Oh well, let her be.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Senior Tenkai, are you there?"

It was a woman's voice, and it sounded somewhat familiar.

The voice of Chizuru Amami echoed in my mind: "It's Sami, the contestant who was on the same stage with me last time, the one sent by her mother's company."

Shimada Sho raised an eyebrow.

He remembered this person.

Last time on the stage of "The Voice of China", this contestant named Sami was arranged by the program team to perform before him, but he was overshadowed by Sami's song "The First Dream" and had no presence at all.

"Should we open the door?" Tenkai Chizuru asked.

"Open it." Shimada Sho stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.

A tall woman, in her early twenties, stood outside the door, wearing a beige trench coat over a white shirt and a black pencil skirt.

She has regular features, exquisite makeup, and a polite smile on her lips.

But there was a hint of coldness hidden in those eyes.

"Good evening, Senior Tenkai." Sami bowed slightly, her tone respectful. "I'm sorry to bother you so late."

"Is there something you need?" Shimada Sho asked in the same tone as Amami Chizuru.

“It’s like this.” Sami looked up, her smile unchanged. “Tomorrow is the quarterfinals, and I wanted to come and say hello to you in advance.”

What should we say hello to?

Sami's smile deepened.

"Tomorrow's competition will include a performance segment in addition to singing and dancing."

Shimada Sho's brow twitched slightly.

“I know that you are excellent in both singing and dancing.” Sami’s tone remained respectful, but the sarcasm in her eyes became more and more obvious. “But acting skills are something that not everyone has. I just hope that you won’t drag me down when the time comes.”

As she spoke, her smile grew brighter and brighter.

Tomorrow is the collaborative stage, and according to the stage design, there will be a performance.

She wanted to use this opportunity to make this guy who had stolen all her glory look utterly humiliated!

Just as she was thinking this, she noticed that Tenkai Chizuru in front of her was also smiling.

"I'm very satisfied with Sami's ambition."

"Tenkai Chizuru" smiled lewdly, his gaze sweeping over her with a vulgar look.

A moment later, he stepped forward, leaned close to her, and whispered playfully in her ear, "Good luck, don't let your senior down."

Chapter 102 I Was Here First

"System..."

After Sami, blushing, ran away from being teased by her imagined rival, Chizuru Amami's voice finally rang out weakly.

"What's wrong?" Shimada Sho asked.

The young idol asked, bewildered, "Was she just provoking me?"

"Ah."

"Then... what should I do?"

Despite Shimada Sho's confident demeanor, even to the point of having his opponent under his thumb.

But when it comes to acting competitions, Chizuru Amami still instinctively feels insecure. "She's right, I really can't act. I'm sure I'll be fine in tomorrow's acting segment..."

"What are you afraid of?" Shimada Sho interrupted her, his tone calm. "Have you forgotten what you just bought?"

Tenkai Chizuru paused for a moment.

Then, her voice rang out.

"That's right, I have acting skills given to me by the system!"

After being reminded, she immediately went from worried to happy, excitedly saying, "Sami will definitely be very surprised tomorrow, hahaha!"

As Shimada Sho heard the girl's unrestrained laughter echoing in his mind, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

This girl can be quite cute sometimes.

"Remember your mission." Finally, Shimada Sho reminded her again, "Help this system gather information."

"Okay, okay!" Tenkai Chizuru readily agreed. "Don't worry, System Master, I will definitely find out the answers for you."

"But... can that hypnosis phone really hypnotize the shop assistant?"

"can."

"That's great!" Tenkai Chizuru's voice was full of anticipation. "I'll definitely complete the mission!"

Shimada Sho leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

[Remaining time for this connection: 00:00:08]

"This system needs maintenance."

"Huh? So fast?" Tenkai Chizuru belatedly realized.

"Play well in the game tomorrow."

"Yes! Don't worry, System, I will definitely win!"

[Log out of the character "Tenkai Chizuru"?]

"Yes."

Consciousness faded, and darkness enveloped everything.

When he opened his eyes again, Shimada Sho was back in his dilapidated rented room.

The rain was still falling outside the window, the raindrops tapping against the windowpane, making a soft, pattering sound.

He lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling for a while.

Then open the system panel and confirm that Tianhai Qianhe's 500,000 has been credited to his account.

Current account balance: ¥2,518,423

Two million six hundred thousand.

After paying off his debts, his savings increased rather than decreased.

This feeling is pretty good.

Shimada Sho rolled over and closed his eyes.

……

The next day, the drizzle continued.

Sho Shimada wakes up on time thanks to his biological clock.

I glanced at my phone; it was 7:43, more than ten minutes later than usual.

I quickly washed up, changed into my school uniform, grabbed a rice ball from the refrigerator, ate it as I ran outside.

The rain was a little lighter than last night, but it was still drizzling.

He held up his umbrella and hurried to the school.

Unfortunately, I already woke up late, and since I couldn't go for a run, I was still six minutes late.

The school gate was empty; the students had all gone into their classrooms.

A familiar figure stood under the rain pavilion.

Dark blue school uniform suit, plaid skirt, black stockings.

Her long black hair was tied into a low ponytail at the back of her head, revealing her fair neck and delicate ears.

The eyes behind the glasses were staring at him, their gaze calm, yet they inexplicably created a sense of pressure.

Yuki Ayase.

She held the pen with the two-tailed fox printed on it, the nib hovering above the page, as if waiting to write something.

Shimada Sho paused slightly, then steeled himself and walked over.

"I'm late." Ayase Yuki's voice was devoid of any emotion.

"Hmm." Shimada Sho did not argue.

"Class, Name".

"Class 2-C, Shimada Sho."

Yuki Ayase lowered her head and wrote a few words on the folder, then looked up and her gaze fell on Sho Shimada's face.

"Mr. Pervert was six minutes late today. According to school rules, two conduct points will be deducted."

"Understood." Shimada Sho lifted his foot to walk inside.

Yuki Ayase suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute."

Shimada Sho stopped and turned to look at her.

Yuki Ayase closed the folder, pushed up her glasses, and said bluntly, "Students who are late will need to receive individual instruction from the student guidance assistant."

"What kind of education?" Shimada Sho frowned.

"Come with me."

Yuki Ayase did not answer, and turned to walk towards the green belt next to the school gate.

There was a row of neatly trimmed holly trees that blocked the view of the security guard's room at the school gate.

Shimada Sho stood there, watching her back, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

What is this woman up to now?

"Mr. Pervert, please come here." Ayase Yuki stopped behind the holly tree, turned around with the folder in her arms, and urged him.

Shimada Sho took a deep breath and walked over.

Whatever she's going to do, it can't be too outrageous in public.

Moreover, this is outdoors, unlike the activity room which is more private.

She shouldn't...do anything reckless, right?

Shimada Sho stopped behind the holly tree.

Yuki Ayase stood in front of him, a few steps apart.

Rain dripped down the leaves, splashing tiny droplets at their feet.

"Ayase-san, if you have something to say..."

“I don’t need to remember your name,” Yuki Ayase suddenly said, interrupting him.

Shimada Sho was stunned for a moment. "What?"

Yuki Ayase glanced around, then turned back and said calmly, "I can choose not to deduct your points, and I can also choose not to report your lateness record."

"No need." Shimada Sho sensed something was wrong and turned to leave.

But as she took a step, she found that the hem of her clothes had been tugged.

Frowning and turning around, he saw Ayase Yuki reaching out a hand and tugging at the hem of his school uniform.

With a pleading look in her eyes, she whispered, "Don't go."

"..." Shimada Sho sighed helplessly and asked bluntly, "What exactly do you want to say?"
